Cauliflower is a dietary and healthy product. It got its name from the inflorescences that resemble flowers. And not at all because of the multi-colored coloring, as one might think without seeing and not knowing this product.

If you need a smaller amount, reduce the products proportionally to each other.

Age one and a half years is the time to expand the child's diet. His digestive system improves, the number of teeth increases, which helps to chew harder foods. Mom does not need to grind food thoroughly, as in the first year of life. The components of the dishes can be cut into small pieces without resorting to a meat grinder and blender. A varied menu introduces the baby to new tastes and provides the supply of valuable vitamins and microelements.

The diet of a child after a year should be made taking into account the recommendations of specialists

Diet of a one and a half year old child

The diet of children after one and a half years includes 5 meals. Three of them are basic and two are snacks. Some kids refuse second breakfast, switch to 4 meals a day with a break between meals at 4 hours. Whatever the baby's habits, the main thing is to invite him to the table at a strictly allotted time. This will develop the food reflex and create favorable conditions for the digestion of food.

Child's diet after a year

This article talks about typical ways of solving your questions, but each case is unique! If you want to know from me how to solve your particular problem - ask your question. It's fast and free!

Your question:

Your question has been sent to an expert. Remember this page on social networks to follow the expert's answers in the comments:

When choosing food for a child after a year, preference should be given to light dietary products. The children's menu must include cereals, light soups, fermented milk dishes, fish and meat patties. For dressing dishes, you should use vegetable oil, low-fat sour cream. The addition of salt, herbs, ground pepper is allowed.

Porridge, vegetables, meat on the menu

Porridge can be served every day, at any time. The most valuable of them are oatmeal and buckwheat, which contain many useful trace elements. Rice is well digested, but it should be limited if you are prone to constipation. Less popular corn and millet porridge are a source of silicon, calcium and phosphorus. You can also offer barley, which contains iron and potassium, and pearl barley is introduced after three years.

Vegetables and fruits can be given every day, in any form. They contain fiber, which prevents constipation and aids easy digestion. Summer is the best time for light salads. Baked vegetables and mashed potatoes are suitable as a side dish at any time of the year.


Children's menu should not only be varied, but interesting and beautiful

For cutlets and meatballs, you should use lean meats - turkey, beef, veal. A blender, a double boiler and a slow cooker will help to prepare it. Lean fish dishes should be included in the diet at least 2 times a week. A piece of baked fish will give the body important amino acids, iodine, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, phospholipids. However, it should be remembered that fish is a strong allergen.

Eggs, dairy products and fats in the diet

Milk, fermented milk and dairy products give children calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin D. They contain milk sugar, digestible acids, carbohydrates, and minerals.

You can make cheese cakes, casseroles, lazy dumplings from cottage cheese, which you can already try for your baby.

Chicken eggs are prized with amino acids and lycetin. A whole egg can be given to an older child for breakfast every other day, or you can make a steamed omelet from it, add it to dishes. If you are allergic to protein, it is removed from the menu. You can also try dietary quail eggs.


A child over a year old can be given a whole egg (every other day, or half a day), and not just the yolk

Fats are oils (sunflower, olive, butter, corn) that are useful in their own way. The vitamins, minerals and fatty acids they contain give strength and support the metabolism. The daily norm of butter at the age of 2 years is from 6 to 10 grams. (including adding to cereals, puddings, casseroles).

Bread, pasta and sweets

Durum wheat pasta may be present in the diet of one and a half year old children. They contain carbohydrates, vitamins B1, B9, PP, B2, calcium, phosphorus and other trace elements. Up to 2 years old, the inclusion of bran baked goods is not recommended by WHO and pediatricians, including Dr. Komarovsky. However, at 1.5 years old, you can introduce a child to bread made from rye flour.

The daily norm of black bread should not exceed 10 grams. In total, a two-year-old child is allowed to eat up to 100 grams of bread per day (70 grams of wheat and 30 grams of rye). If a child refuses bread, do not insist - cereals will completely replace him.


Sweets and chocolate should be given to the baby in a very limited amount, it is better to prefer dried fruits and biscuit biscuits (see also :)

You should not include sweets and pastries in the diet of a 1.5-year-old baby. Once a week, you can marshmallow, marmalade, marshmallow, honey, biscuit biscuits and dried fruits (see also:). The daily rate of sugar is 40 grams (sugar added to cereals, pies, cottage cheese is considered).

Harmful and heavy food from an adult table should not be tried at this age. Heavy, fatty, fried foods are prohibited. Do not give mushrooms, pickled vegetables, smoked meats, seafood, marinades. The taboo applies to concentrated juices, soda, margarine and spread, coffee.

Menu for a day in 1.5-3 years

A varied and balanced diet is the basis for the harmonious development of a 1.5-2 year old child. The basis of the children's diet should be foods with protein content - eggs, fish, meat, dairy products.

The correct daily set of dishes that should be given to the baby is shown in the table:

In my mother's piggy bank: useful recipes

It is important for a mother to be attentive both to the selection of products for the child and to their careful culinary processing. It is advisable to make your own cottage cheese, jelly, yoghurts, minced meat, oat and shortbread cookies. Finished products are not always stored in proper conditions, and manufacturers are often silent about their composition. It is necessary to gradually master the recipes for children's dishes and introduce them to the child.

Millet porridge "Caprice"


Millet porridge "Caprice"

Initially, boil a viscous millet porridge, pouring half a glass of cereal with a glass of hot water. Then add a little sugar and salt to a saucepan with millet and cook until tender, cool to 40 degrees and serve with one of the fillers:

  • finely chopped dried apricots and raisins, nuts and butter;
  • carrot puree (chopped carrots should be stewed beforehand, and then mixed with porridge and garnished with prunes);
  • pieces of stewed fillet, laid out on porridge.

Delicate chicken cream soup

To prepare one portion, you need to make a broth by boiling 20 grams of chicken fillet in 150 ml. water and adding salt, half an onion and carrots to it. Grind the finished meat and vegetables with a blender, add half of the broth, grind. Separately dry a tablespoon of flour in a pan, add the rest of the broth and 1 tsp. butter. Keep on fire until thickened, stirring constantly.

Mix the sauce and mashed meat with vegetables. Simmer for 10 minutes. In parallel, combine a fresh egg with 30 ml. warm boiled milk, boil until thickened in a water bath. Add the resulting mixture to the slightly cooled soup and mix. Serve with herbs.

Beets stewed with prunes


Beets stewed with prunes

Grate medium-sized red beets on a coarse grater. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a frying pan and heat the chopped root vegetable on it. Add 50 grams of chopped prunes, salt and sugar, cover and simmer over low heat until tender. It is important to stir every 2 minutes so that the beets become tender and fragrant.

Fish stewed in milk

Prepare a good cod fillet, sprinkle with salt. Separately chop the young potatoes, add water and cook until half cooked in a ceramic pot. Drain the water, add the chopped half of the onion, the prepared fish. Pour a glass of milk over the food and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Garnish with herbs before serving.

Meat soufflé


Chicken souffle

Grind 350 grams of a good tenderloin in a blender or food processor. Continuing to beat, add a little salt, 50 gr. butter, a good raw egg. Gradually pour in 0.5 cups of low-fat cream. Put the well-prepared mass in an oiled form, which must be placed in a bowl of boiling water and sent to a preheated oven.

During baking, it is important to ensure that there is always boiling water in the bowl, add it when evaporating. Signs of the readiness of the dish are the increase and compaction of the mass, its separation from the walls of the form. Mom should try it before finally taking out the dish. Serve the soufflé on a flat plate with herbs and fresh tomato.

Rice casserole with cottage cheese


Rice casserole with cottage cheese

Boil crumbly rice. Add raisins, egg beaten with a little sugar, butter and grated cottage cheese. Mix the prepared mass well and put on a baking sheet, pre-oiled and covered with bread crumbs. Grease the mass on top with the previously connected egg and sour cream or pour with melted butter. Bake for 10 minutes at medium heat. Serve garnished with berry syrup.

Note to mom

A two-year-old may refuse meals prepared by his mother. New products can be particularly resentful. Dr. Komarovsky does not recommend insisting.

The best tactic is to avoid snacking and no access to sweets. Hungry in between the main meals, the child will happily eat whatever is given to him.

Poor appetite is usually the result of snacking between meals. Faced with this, the mother should eliminate the "morning" juice at 11 o'clock, it is good to take a walk with the child before lunch. However, a deterioration in appetite may indicate the onset of ARVI, problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Mom should pay attention and react to such situations in time.

Hello. I don’t know what to do with the nutrition of my son for 1.5 years. He eats very little, in the morning he can eat a little porridge with tea or compote and that's it, lunch can refuse to eat at all or eat quite a bit. He eats an afternoon snack, but most often dinner remains untouched. At night he drinks kefir and go to bed, just at night he can wake up twice and ask for kefir. The child is healthy, cheerful and cheerful, I can't find the reason why he eats so little

  • Good evening! I don't know if this is a problem or not, but help me figure it out. I have a son. Now he is 1 year and 4 months old. He is very active and inquisitive, but he doesn’t want to eat his own basic techniques and doesn’t eat pieces of food either, he spits out the basic techniques. If in a hunt to eat from our table, he takes a spoon and eats potatoes, not mashed, everything except meat. Chews dryers, bread, apples. So what is the question: 1. How to properly teach a baby doll to eat yourself? And is it critical if this is not the case at our age; although, I will emphasize that he eats dryers, cucumbers, apples by himself, but in small volumes. 2. I pray with a blender, so it eats the entire portion necessary. Although, I know that he can chew the pieces if he wants. Meat does not chew, always spits out. 3. Eats with cartoons, although we never watch them this way and do not turn on the TV at home. But he eats with them. How to teach or even develop pleasure and desire to eat yourself? How to create a desire to eat slices in your regimen? We already have 12 teeth for sure.

  • Son 1.7. We lead a healthy lifestyle, everything is strictly according to the recommendations. Two hours before bedtime, he eats porridge in milk, at night he has long been weaned from eating. But I can’t sleep for almost one night, so that he does not wake up at 1-2 o’clock in the morning. I'll give you some water and put it back on my bed. Then I transfer it to his crib. He can sleep until the morning of 8.30-9.00, but more often at 4-5 in the morning he wakes up again and climbs over the bed to me. 16 teeth have come out up to 1.6 m, all have already grown. I also weaned from a dummy 1.6 months before. He eats well. But these awakenings are not exhausting me! Now he has become generally capricious, it is difficult to sleep.

    We are in complete despair, our child is one and ten years old. Throwing tantrums at us. Eats very badly, except for porridge and cottage cheese. He refuses meat and vegetables cooked in broth, he also refuses canned purees and soups (doctors do not allow them to use baby milk). What should we do in such a situation.

    Time goes by, the crumb grows. Now he has already mastered crawling, walking and even running. He spends a lot of energy on getting to know the world, shows curiosity in everything, including food on the table. A young mother draws up a menu for a child at 1 year in terms of the balance of nutrients and nutrients for the development and growth of the baby.

    In the interval between the first and second year of life, a nutritional regimen is developed in children - 4-5 meals a day... Their menu consists of soups, main courses, side dishes, fruits, vegetables, bread, dairy products, sweets, and sufficient drinking. Mom is looking for new recipes and experimenting.

    A one-year-old baby should already be fed more often and familiarize him with new combinations of tastes almost every day.

    He acquired teeth, usually about 6-10. It can quite cope with small pieces of food and exercise its chewing apparatus. At the same time, his digestive system became more mature after the first anniversary. It contains more enzymes and useful flora.

    • it protects the teeth from the development of caries;
    • helps to cope with bacteria and viruses;
    • strengthens the immune system and contributes to the harmonious growth and development of the baby.

    If the baby is artificially fed, then the mother should increase the number of dishes, that is, expand the child's diet in one year.

    Since the physical activity of a one-year-old baby has grown and continues to increase, the number of dishes after his first acquaintance with other products is also growing.

    In most cases, a young mother can easily find recipes for pediatric complementary feeding on the Internet or in books with recommendations on nutrition for children under 2 years of age.

    But they can be easily reduced or chosen so that they are suitable for all family members and share with the child, if you are a supporter of pedagogical.

    Mode and volume of portions of a one-year-old toddler

    Immediately after the first anniversary, you should not establish a strict diet. Kids under 1.5 years old eat quietly 5 times a day. The baby continues to be fed a little and often, over time, the number of approaches to the table is equalized to 4 as in adults. The optimal interval between feedings is 3-3.5 hours. With the growing up of children, it can increase to 4. During this time, food is completely absorbed, and the baby feels a little hungry.

    Children's menu should be balanced and nutritious... So, proteins and fats are needed 4 g per day, and 4 times more carbohydrates, that is, 16 g.

    • Children should not be taught to have snacks between meals, and even more so to pastry sweets. This habit takes root quickly and interferes with a healthy and timely appetite in the future.
    • Adhere to a meal schedule with a deviation of up to 15 minutes. This supports the production of gastric juices, hunger and healthy appetite in the baby. Remember that the regimen for children is important in everything - nutrition, hygiene procedures, sleep, wakefulness.

    For children under 2 years old who are on a pediatric diet, the optimal daily food volume is 1200-1250 ml. It is distributed like this:

    - 25% for breakfast and dinner,

    - 35% lunch,

    - 15% afternoon tea.

    What to feed and what dishes to cook

    Both adults and recipes for children are made according to the principle of combining ingredients for the well-coordinated work of the digestive system.

    For a one-year-old baby, who has already become acquainted with the contents of the parents' plate, it will be interesting to further expand his gastronomic horizons. And mom in this process is the first assistant and friend.

    Many young parents practice keeping a food diary since the introduction of complementary foods. There they record both recipes for dishes, and a list of fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products that went off with a bang and did not cause allergic reactions in the baby. Thanks to this "document" mom:

    • it is easy to track the food preferences of the crumbs;
    • come up with new combinations of dishes - soups, cereals, salads, compotes, homemade baked goods.

    Let's talk in more detail how and what to feed children over the age of 12 months.

    Dairy dishes

    Dairy products are included in the diet of a one-year-old and older crumbs. For example, it is important for everyone to receive kefir and yogurt in a volume of up to 200 ml per day to enrich the body with calcium, proteins and fat, and many vitamins. The most useful are children's live yoghurts, prepared by the mother at home from a special sourdough culture. True, they are not stored for a long time, so you should not keep these products in the refrigerator.

    After a year, milk porridges and soups are useful for crumbs. Their basic recipes are known to all mothers. Adding seasonal fruits to kefir and mixing them in a blender will delight your kid with a delicious smoothie. And yogurt can be used to dress fruit salad and serve it for breakfast.

    Cottage cheese and cheese are not the last in the diet of children. By the way, the famous doctor Komarovsky recommends starting complementary foods with cottage cheese and kefir, since they are closest in consistency to semi-processed mother's milk.

    Cottage cheese in the diet of a baby 1.5-2 years old is up to 70 grams. in a day. A caring mother, in addition to the pure appearance of this product, offers it to her beloved child in puddings, casseroles.

    Sprinkle with grated cheese on the main courses or treat the crumb with a piece so that he chews on it.

    Butter in a sandwich or porridge will please your baby after 12 months.

    From 1.5-2 years old, you can diversify ready-made meals with low-fat cream and sour cream. Most often they are added to children's soups just before serving.

    Fruits and vegetables

    For a baby after 1.5 years old, a young mother boldly offers seasonal herbs - parsley, dill, onions, both in fresh salads and as part of first courses. Moreover, soups with them are even more aromatic and change their taste.

    Vegetable dishes form the basis of nutrition for a child of any age. Recipes for fresh salads, casseroles, stewed and boiled vegetables are always present in mom's arsenal. Such dishes are especially useful at lunchtime and in the evening.

    In a salad, fresh, in homemade baked goods, fruit jams provide the growing body with both a sweet taste and a whole set of vitamins, microelements, and fiber.

    Cereals and first courses

    The diet of a baby after a year cannot be imagined without first courses, side dishes and cereals. Soups are definitely included in his menu. At first, mom uses recipes based on vegetable broth, milk, and closer to the age of 2 years, she also adds meat soups.

    Favorite and safe, from the point of view of allergic reactions, are oat, rice, buckwheat, corn grits. Therefore, dishes from them are prepared for the child most often.

    Soups, cereals, cabbage rolls, stuffed peppers, casseroles with vegetables - this is not a complete list of possible dishes for the table of crumbs over 1.5–2 years old.

    Meat, fish and eggs

    After the first anniversary, the baby becomes more and more familiar with meat food. Supporters of the pediatric diet offer him up to 5 times a week steam cutlets along with porridge or vegetable salad for lunch.

    Meat recipes for children consist of veal, lean pork, rabbit, turkey. Closer to the age of 2 years, you can give the child meat in pieces, the main thing is that it is well boiled until it melts in the mouth.

    Fish as a component of the first and second courses is allowed up to 2 times a week. A caring mom prepares steamed patties for crumbs or adds pieces of fish to soups. Such dishes are rich in iodine, which affects the development of the brain and the well-coordinated work of the baby's thyroid gland.

    Hard-boiled chicken and / or quail eggs are included in the child's menu after a year in the amount of 1-2 per week. Homemade recipes should only be supplemented with these types of eggs. They can also be used to decorate soups and salads.

    Other dishes

    A child after one year old should be treated with white bread as an addition to soup or as a sandwich with butter.

    Due to the sour dough, rye bread is able to provoke fermentation processes in the baby's tummy. Therefore, its appearance in the diet should be postponed for another six months.

    The child should receive water in the amount necessary for him, for example, in pure form, in tea, compote, jelly, etc.

    It is preferable to use iodized salt up to 1 g. in a day.

    More often, young mothers make sweets for babies at home on their own. Or they choose those where fructose is used instead of sugar. It is both sweeter and less harmful to the fragile body of the crumbs. On average, 30-40 g of sweet food (except fruits) is enough to meet the needs of a growing baby.

    As a side dish for steamed cutlets, mashed potatoes or vegetables, boiled rice or pasta are suitable.

      Most children eat meat rather poorly, so try to make the dishes out of it look unusual. For example, you can mix boiled meat with an omelet mixture and prepare an omelette with meat filling for your child.

      Give kids' meals a playful and fabulous element. The more beautiful the dish is served, the more the little gourmet wants to eat it.

      For soups, use special curly knives for cutting vegetables.

      Sculpt cutlets in the shape of animals or cars. Garnish with fresh or boiled vegetables. Bright eyes, legs-handles - they look funny and interesting. The child will like it.

      Pancakes and pancakes will turn out to be the shape you want if you pour the dough into a plastic bottle with holes in the lid. Flip the bottle over the hot skillet and squeeze out the pattern you want.

      Serve cheesecakes with sweet sauces. Jelly, jam or jam will do. There is no need to force the child to eat a cheesecake with sour cream, many have not yet liked this combination.

      Try to cook cottage cheese for children's dishes with your own hands. You can just leave the kefir in a mug on the table, and after a few hours, put it in a gauze corner and hang it over a plate. As all the liquid drains, you can eat the curd. One mug of kefir - one portion of homemade cottage cheese for a child.

      Prepare jelly from potato starch and jam. It is both beautiful and natural, teach your child to appreciate natural products from childhood.

    Health to you and your baby!

    Correct, timely development of the child is the goal of every mother. One of the components of success is a well-designed menu for a child at 1 year old. At this age, many children are already weaned, transferring to artificial feeding. If the mother still has enough breast milk and she decides to continue feeding the baby with it, then it is still necessary for the baby to eat regular food, although, as experience shows, all babies are different. There are times when a child does not want to eat regular food, preferring only breast milk even at this age.

    What does the menu of a one-year-old child consist of?

    It should be noted that there are certain norms, but in life everything is completely different, since all children are different and the nutrition of the parents themselves is different. TO

    So, it is believed that feeding a child at 1 year old is carried out 4-5 times a day. The interval between feedings should be no more than 4 hours. The total amount of food eaten is 1000-1200 ml, excluding liquid. A similar diet should be maintained for children until they reach 1.5 years of age. In real life, few people will count these milliliters, accurately measure the time.

    A child's diet at 1 year old can consist of the following meals:

    1. Breakfast (8:00);
    2. Second breakfast (10:00);
    3. Lunch (13:00);
    4. Afternoon snack (16:00);
    5. Dinner (19:00).

    An approximate menu for a one-year-old baby can be represented by the following set of dishes:

    1. Breakfast - porridge is best. Porridge can be made with a lump of butter or fruit. In a year, the baby can be given rice, buckwheat, oatmeal, corn, millet, semolina or multigrain porridge (if the cereals contained in it were given separately in advance). There are recommendations that after porridge you can give tea or compote, but personally I take this recommendation with great doubt, compote - okay, water - okay, but why tea? To accustom a small person to this drink, which does not bring much benefit to adults, except for creating a habit of drinking tea after meals, which leads to a deterioration in digestion processes, overeating bakery and confectionery products, creates problems with water in the body, and so on.
    2. Second breakfast - children's kefir and biscuits, fruits. It is worth making sure that the children's kefirchik does not contain the entire periodic table. Study the ingredients carefully, the same applies to cookies. The best fruit, homemade yeast-free baked goods.
    3. Lunch - vegetable salad, soup, meat dish with garnish. The soup is cooked in vegetable broth. This can be beetroot, cabbage soup, or noodle soup. As a meat dish for a child at 12 months old, you can offer meatballs, steam cutlets or meatballs. 1-2 times a week, a meat dish can be replaced with a fish one. Tea, compote or water is worth thinking about. About meat and fish at this age is very individual. Our children are not accustomed to drinking food from childhood and feel great, sometimes they ask for water after a meal, but rarely. For lunch, they enjoy eating soups, they don't want a salad, and they may refuse a second. Soup is usually enough.
    4. Afternoon snack - cottage cheese, fruit or vegetable puree.
    5. Dinner - vegetable and meat puree, steam omelet, millet porridge with pumpkin.

    Useful information for parents

    A child's menu at 1 year old should not include products such as:

    • Citrus;
    • Mushrooms;
    • Nuts;
    • Sausages, sausages;
    • Caviar;
    • Chocolate;
    • Semi-finished products;
    • Canned food.

    You should also follow important rules regarding meals:

    • do not give children snacks;
    • feed at the same time, observing the regime;
    • monitor the freshness and quality of the products that you use in the baby's diet at 1 year old;
    • feed your baby only freshly cooked food, do not leave soup or second for tomorrow;
    • control the cleanliness of your own and baby's hands. Teach him to wash his hands before eating.

    How to diversify the diet of a one-year-old baby?

    Each mother has her own recipes, according to which she prepares delicious and healthy dishes for her crumbs. To diversify the menu, I would like to offer a few more recipes.

    Fish under a vegetable blanket

    The kids' menu includes fish 1-2 times a week. Low-fat types of white fish are chosen for children. Better to give preference to fish fillets or low-boned fish. And if you chose fish in a piece, then before serving you need to carefully examine and remove all the bones.

    Not all children are willing to eat fish. To "trick" them, you can hide it under a vegetable blanket. This dish can be offered to your child for dinner.

    3. Free the lumpy fish from the bones and chop. Even if you have chosen a fillet, check it for small bones.
    4. Put a layer of chopped fish in a bowl first, then cover it with a blanket of vegetables.
    5. Peel and chop the cherry tomato. Place the tomato slices on top of the vegetable blanket.
    6. The fish is ready under the vegetable blanket!

    Each child is different, but experience suggests that a lot depends on the parent. The formation of food habits depends on what products a parent begins to give to a child from a young age, what dishes are on the table, what food is in sight at home. Eating soups, vegetables, fruits is often just a habit, although there are children who will never eat any type of food, if not forced.
